[1] Lord, be kind to your country. Jacob’s ˻people are exiles in a foreign country.˼ Bring the exiles back to their country.
[2] Lord, forgive your people! Erase their sins! selah
[3] Lord, stop being angry. Don’t be mad.
[4] Our God and Savior, stop being angry at us, and accept us again.
[5] Will you be angry at us forever?
[6] Please, make us live again! Make your people happy.
[7] Lord, save us and show us that you love us.
[8] I heard what the Lord God said. He said there would be peace for his people and loyal followers. So they must not go back to their foolish way of living.
[9] God will soon save his followers. We will soon live with honor on our land.
[10] God’s true love will meet his followers. Goodness and peace will greet them with a kiss.
[11] People on earth will be loyal to God, And God in heaven will be good to them.
[12] The Lord will give us many good things. The ground will grow many good crops.
[13] Goodness will go in front of God, and prepare the way for him.
